Intervall every 6 hours only

Hi there,
is there any possibility to put intervall to 360 minutes. The actualy max size is 60 min. Over this time it wont work.
thx

this isn't really possible with a cronjob

This could be possible with a multi-entry crontab. For 72h intervall example:

0 0,5,10,15,20 * * * speedtest.py
12 1,6,11,16,21 * * * speedtest.py
24 2,7,12,17,22 * * * speedtest.py
36 3,8,13,18,23 * * * speedtest.py
48 4,9,14,19 * * * speedtest.py

You may mount a volume into /config and change crontab.default to your specification for that.

I got this (eg at 4 hour intervals) working with a single line crontab

0 6,10,14,20 * * * /var/www/html/scripts/speedtestRunner.py >/dev/stdout 2>&1

but the gotcha was that I had to set the container timezone to my own

I used docker-compose and mapped the volume
/etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro

The TZ environment variable didn't work for me when set through the synology interface...

@rjcds How do you have anything at all when it's been broken since April?
